3. Head dorsally without setae posteriad the anterior supraorbital setae............ C. tapiaguassu Pellegrini & Ferreira, 2011

- Head dorsally with one to three pairs of setae posteriad the anterior supraorbital setae...............................4

4. Labrum with anterior margin broadly concave. Prosternal setae two pair. Maximum width (of elytra) posteriad transverse mid- line. Male right paramere broad, not styliform, distinctly shorter than left paramere. Brazil......................................................................................................
